10,000 Hours to Perfect a Skill

If I had to perfect an activity I would think of something that could change my life or maybe help me later in life, but I am not sure what that would be yet. So my first instinct would be gymnastics but like many other activities there are so many different skills inside of the activity. It is definitely a big part of my life, I go to my gym six days a week and I could not imagine my life without it. It is a lot of work and i have dedicated a lot of time into it, so i would want to perfect it. Instead i would focus on a smaller skill to perfect and I would choose floor. It is my favorite event. It combines many skills and is the part of gymnastics that shows the most expression. It would take a lot of hard work but 10,000 hours could perfect it. My background in the sport will help.  I would need to perfect my tumbling skills and also my dance skills. To be perfect in the sport i would need to score a perfect ten performing the hardest skills and moves possible. It would be a good skill for me to perfect since I have been working on it for a large part of my life.

  1. I think it's great that you're so dedicated to something you love to do. I think that what gymnasts are able to do is amazing, and it seems like a lot of work would have to be put into it to be able to have that type of strength and precision.
